New Elliptical Rice Bowls

These were a special request but a bit of a challenge. How could I keep the slanted elliptical rim while creating a resting spot to hold chop sticks? I didn't want to cut a clunky rectangle out of the side wall because it would ruin the gentle elegance of the ellipse. Here is the solution. I really like the way they stack too. The simple change of slope makes them feel modern and yet still elegant. I love it when a new design turns out better than expected!

pam, these turned out great! i've been looking for a cool noodle bowl with chopstick rest. can i make a custom request for a bowl like this with a matching dish for things like chili sauce and kimchee etc, plus a matching tumbler? let me know and i can place an order through etsy, or just send you a check.
